Although recreational dispensaries offer New Jersey’s best cannabis experiences, real high rollers know to visit smoke shops to find the accessories they need too. Keep reading to learn about the smoke shops in Hackettstown, NJ, including what to buy there and what’s safer to purchase at dispensaries instead.
Smoke shops vs. cannabis dispensaries: What’s the difference?
Smoke shops sell accessories including pipes, dry herb vapes, rolling papers, and candles for keeping your smoking discreet and elevating your cannabis experience. Some smoke shops also sell products that contain CBD and, in rare cases, delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive component in cannabis. Smoke shop products aren’t regulated or lab-tested, but that doesn’t mean much when shopping for accessories.
Why you should only buy cannabis products at licensed dispensaries
In cannabis dispensaries, which are licensed and regulated, you’ll find lots of THC products alongside some CBD products. Every cannabis product at a dispensary has gone through rigorous lab testing and was processed in compliance with local regulations, laws, and standards. This means that dispensaries’ cannabis is guaranteed to be safe and high quality, and that its labeling and online description is accurate.
Smoke shops may also carry unregulated cannabis products that have likely not been tested. You can never be sure if the labeling on these products is accurate, as they’re not held to the same standards as the products carried in a licensed dispensary.
For this reason, we definitely recommend you get your cannabis at a dispensary, where you know it’s tested and high quality. Dispensaries also sell accessories, but if you’re looking to show your love to more than one local business, buy some accessories at a nearby smoke shop too.
